Welcome to the Hatman Project
Hello. My name is Timothy M. Brown, Jr. and I am the site owner, administrator, and researcher for The Hat Man Project. The purpose of this site is to research the phenomenon that has come to be known as “The Hat Man.” Reports of The Hat Man and other shadow beings have been on the rise within the last several decades. It was due to my own experience with this being, as well as my awareness of other people’s sightings of The Hat Man that I decided to begin this research project.
I started this project in 2001, collecting what few stories I could find on the web at the time. Since that time, this site has received hundreds of stories from people all over the world. It has taken me the better part of 20 years to fully understand what this phenomenon is all about. And after years of research I have finally come a conclusion of who or what the Hatman is, why he is appearing now, why he is appearing to people all over the world, and what to do if you are (or have had) and encounter with him.
I am currently writing a book about the Hatman called The Hatman Revealed. In this book I plan to go into detail about the commonalities of the many hundreds of stories we’ve received over the years and what those commonalities reveal about this being and phenomenon. There will be no cost for this book, and I believe that this has become more of a mission of mine more than anything else. This information needs to get out there.
The aim of this website is to explore the stories of the many sightings that have been reported. This is the very first and only web site solely devoted to researching, collecting, and archiving information and stories relating to The Hat Man. As more stories are researched and collected they will be posted on this site regularly.
Have you seen the Hatman? If you or anyone you know has had this experience, we would love to hear from you and add your story to this site. If you have a sighting or an encounter you would like to tell, please post your story here to the right of this page. Once reviewed we will post it online and give others a chance to comment on it. We look forward to hearing from you. If you would like to reach out to us personally, you may do so by contacting us here.

A Menacing Presence
Wow, I can't believe there's a website for this. I stumbled across this, well I shouldn't say stumbled, there have been some events, as of late,that have pushed me to do a google search on the hat man, although I didn't know he was so well known that he would have a nickname but tall thin shadow man with a hat got me here none the less. Like most I kept this to myself for the most part, but tell the story often to close friends that know I'm sane. I run a restaurant grossing roughly a million a year,
A Tall Dark Shadow Wearing A Long Coat
Hi, I am 28 years old, but have a very clear memory of seeing something disturbingly simalar to this man when I was 4 years old. My story is not exciting. I was alone in a bedroom as I was about to walk out I saw a tall dark shadow wearing a long coat and what I interpreted at the time as a sombrero. He strolled casually down the hallway, glanced at me and carried on. I froze in terror but once he vanished I searched the hall and other rooms for him and checked for people outside who may
Fear At 3:30AM
Ok, so a friend actually told me about this site, and I thought I would have to come check it out. For the past 2 nights I have been waking up around the same time (about 3:30-3:48 am) I am waking up experiencing this tightness in my chest, like I am having an anxiety attack. While I feel like I am jolted awake, I feel like I am unable to move. I dont know why but I am insticntly looking to my left, and seeing this tall wide figure that is either really tall, or hoveing almost above me. I
A Man In The Hallway
First off I would like to say that I have told this story vividly, twice, and each time I cry. It is not a scary story and not exciting or particularly interesting but when I explain it tears just spur from my eyes. They're not tears of fear or sadness just emotion. Mind you, this occurred almost two years ago but upon remembering it and researching it I am fascinated to hear other people have tales of this man but while reading them, I cry again. Does anyone else cry when hearing/telling of him? Well here is my story. Two
Out Of The Corner Of My Eye…
I've seen shadows out of the corners of my eyes ever since I was really little, but never an actual form until recently. I can tell he's the same man, even though he isn't always wearing his hat. He has never shown up in my room or even in my house, but I see him from time to time. The most vivid that I can remember was once when he walked out in front of my car and another time when I was having a hallucination of the flesh being stripped from my leg, I saw him and he nodded
Scared of the Dark
I've been seeing shadow beings my whole life but i thought it was just something i made up as a kid because i was scared of the dark. I've never actually wanted to share my experiences because schizophrenia and bipolar disorder runs in the my family. But i experienced something so terrifying i'm sure i will never be able to forget because instead of seeing the shadow beings recently I've been seeing the hat man. but unlike the shadow beings i couldn't see his eyes. It was 4 in the morning and I laid down to sleep. I faced my
An Over Active Imagination?
I'm just finding out about this Hat Man. My 6yr old has been seeing him off and on for a couple of years now. Up till now I have blown it off as just dreams or an over active imagination. But he really seems convinced he is seeing this thing. He says it watches him through the window and through his door way. I am a skeptic to all things paranormal but when my children are involved everything is serious. I would defiantly like more information on the matter and what I can do to help my son sleep and
A Sherlock Holmes Shadow
So, I was talking to my husbands co-worker today and he told me that when he was a kid he saw a man, described like the hat man. I just about fell off my chair he was talking about the same thing my ex's sister saw when I was a kid. I myself have never seen this but, when I was 15 my ex boyfriends sister did, I remember her telling me that something was in her kitchen and looked like sherlock holmes shadow. I'll always remember that but, now I am curious about this hat man thing. Any idea
Like A Magician
I'm astounded to have found this info online. I googled "man in a top hat" this morning, not expecting to find anything. I did not see the man but a good friend of mine in TX called me the night before freaked out because her 4 year old daughter had seen him. She was in the living room alone and her mom was in the kitchen. When the mom came into the living room the little girls asked, "Who was that man in the magic hat?" (a hat like a magician) Her mother said, "What man?" (thinking it was something
